the historic city of Norfolk, with cathedral, shops, station,
and lots to see and do, from plays to concerts, clubs to cinemas.

even with the 1930's controversial city hall.
Cobbled Elm Hill with 14th & 18th century buildings.
Famous Mustard shop, Coleman's Mustard factory has made
mustard since 1814 from locally grown mustard.
The county town's Norman cathedral has on the finest interiors,
especially the presbytery and the cloister. Enter the cathedral
through two gates, Epringham (1420), built by Agincourt
archers commander, and St. Ethberts (1272), built
over a riot between monks and townspeople over the monks levy
of taxes at annual Tombland fair. Nurse Cavell, shot by Germans
